General formatting Chicago doesn't require a specific font or font size, but recommends using something simple and readable (e.g., 12 pt. Times New Roman). Use margins of at least 1 inch on all sides of the page. The main text should be double-spaced, and each new paragraph should begin with a ½ inch indent.
Access Date Chicago style does not recommend including access dates in the citation, unless no date of publication or last revision for the source may be located.
How to format a Chicago-style paper One inch margins on sides, top and bottom. Use Times or Times New Roman 12 pt font. Double-space the text of the paper. Use left-justified text, which will have a ragged right edge. Use a 1/2" indent for paragraph beginnings, block quotes and hanging (bibliography) indents.
Month, day: Spell out the month and use figures for the day: “The symposium took place April 2.” Avoid the use of figures for the month, as in “1/2/2011,” which could be read as either January 2 or February 1. Month, year: If month, day, and year are present, set off the year with matching commas.
